There's plenty of builders and plumbers that make a living out of the 'weekend tradesmen' as well.

Do not replace the fuse ! Use a suitable length of aluminium or brass pot shaft which is a perfect fit and 'meant' for the job. If you replace the fuse it will just blow again, but if you do as directed the parts causing the fuse to blow will become obvious by smells and smoke signs.

Don't go giving him all the professional tips.

Don't even start me on the near disasters I've seen! like a power extension draped across an outdoor saltwater pool with the plug and socket 200mm from waters edge. There were 3 children in the pool at the time...
